AFETY RULE

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in t he operation, transport, maintenanc e and storage of equipment.

It has been said “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.

TRAINING

 Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safe ty decals are a vailabl e from your dealer. To locate yo ur nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-

6637.) Failure to follow inst ructions or safe ty rules can result in serious injury or death.

 Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.

 If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer.

 Make sure spring-activat ed locking p in or collar slides freely and is seated f irmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

 Make sure driveline guard tether chains are attached to the tra ctor and equ ipme nt as sho wn in the pamphlet that accompanies the driveline. Replace if damaged or broken. Check that driveline guards rotate freely on driveline before putting equipment into service.

 Before starting power unit, check a ll equipment driveline guards for damage. Replace any da maged guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on all drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drivelines, repair and replace bearin gs before putting equipment into service.

 Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat bel t. Keep seat belt se curely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

 Remove accumulated debris from this equipment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

 Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See S afet y Deca ls se ctio n f or location.)



Make sure shields and guards are properly

installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.  A minimum 25% of tractor and equipment

weight must be on the tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a loader. Weigh the tract or and equ ipment. D o not estimate.

 Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

PREPARATION

 Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specification s unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

 Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

 Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

PRD Mower (9/13/2005)

OPERATION

 Full chain shielding, designed to reduce the possibility of thrown objects, must be installed when operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people or damage property. If this machine is not equipped with full chain shielding, operation must be stopped when anyone comes within several hundred feet.

 Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

 Never direct discharge toward people, animals, or property.

IMPORTANT

■ Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground

with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a mower can encounter. Allowing blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause damage to mower and drive.

1. Level mower from side to side. Check by

measuring from mower frame to the ground at each deck rail.

2. Verify that the same amount of spacers are under all caster arms.

3. Loosen cap screws that attach caster arm assembly to deck.

4. Set mower on the ground.

5. Retighten cap screws. This equalizes the

clearance in the bolt holes.

CAUTION

FRONT CASTER WHEEL INTERFERENCE CHECK

IMPORTANT

■ Do not operate tractor and mower until this

interference check has been performed. If you change tractors, you must perform the check for that mounting.

2. Pivot both front caster wheels forward and check

that there is clear ance bet ween caster wheels an d tractor tires.

3. If there is interference on models PRD6000 and PRD7200, mount front casters in the outer position. If interference continues, adjust mower hitch plate (E) as shown in Figure 6.

NOTE: On model P RD8400, caster wheel w idth is not adjustable; see tractor operator's manual and adjust tractor wheels to narrower spacing.

FRONT ROLLER (OPTIONAL)

The caster wheels and side skids effectively reduce scalping in most ca ses. However, you may encounter areas where the caster wheel s and/or side skids drop into depressions an d al low cen ter of the mower to contact ground and scalp. An optional front roller may be installed to minimize scalping. See page 31.

OPERATING TECHNIQUE

Figure 9. Front Caster Wheel Interference Check

Perform this check with all of th e spacers and springs above the caster wheel arm. This will place the caster wheels in their hi ghest positi on and provid e the lowes t cutting height for the mower.

1. Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to 16" at dimension C or maximum height of tractor lift, whichever is less.

(Rev. 12/23/2005) MAN0475 (9/21/2005)

 Stop power unit and implement immediately upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit, using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation.

Power for operating mower is s upplied b y tractor PTO. Operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how to stop tractor and mower quickly in an emergenc y.

Operation 13

Page 14

If mower becomes pl ug ged c ausin g belt to slip for over two seconds follow these steps:

Uneven Terrain

1. Maneuver equipment into a previously cut area

and allow mower to clear accumulated material.

2. Continue running at least two minutes, allowing pulleys to cool. Stopping the mowe r in con tact with a very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt.

Proper ground speed will depen d upon the t errain, the height, and type and density of material to be cut.

Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph. Tall dense material should be cut at a low speed; thin medium-height mater ial can be cut at a faster ground speed.

Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain proper blade speed and produce a clean cut.

Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some grass down and prevent it from being cu t at the same height as the surrounding area. When this occurs, reduce your ground speed, but maintain PTO at 540 rpm. The lower ground s peed will permit grass to partially rebound.

WARNING

 Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-

denly on slopes.  Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on

slopes and rough terrain.  Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during

operation.

Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up tractor and mower.

Practice will imp rove your skills in m aneuvering rough terrain.

MOWER REMOVAL & STORAGE

1. Disengage tractor PTO and raise mow er with the

3-point hitch.

In general, lower cu tting heights give a mo re even cut and leave less tire tracks . However, it is better to cut grass frequently rather than too short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot weather and invites weed growth during growing seasons. Follow local recommendations for the s uitable cutting height in your area.

Operating Tips

WARNING

 Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

Extremely tall material should be cu t twice. Set mo wer at a higher cutting hei ght for the first pass. Then cut a t desired height, 90 degrees to the first pass.

Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and require less power.

Analyze area to be cut to determine the best procedure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain type: hilly, level, or rough.

2. Disconnect mower driveshaft from tractor PTO.

3. Collapse driveshaft as far as poss ible and store it

in PTO hanger bracket to prevent ground contact.

4. Before extended storage , se e page 19 for cl ea nin g instructions.

5. Place blocks under mower side skids. Lower mower onto blocks, disconn ect mower from trac tor 3-point hitch, and careful ly drive tractor away from mower.

Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward whenever possible . Mow with uncut grass to the right. This will distribute the clippings over the cut area.

CAUTION

The information in this section is written for operators who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help, your dealer has trained service technicians available. For your protection, read and follow the sa fety info rmation in this manual.

WARNING

 Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

 Keep bystanders away from equipment.  Before working underneath, carefully read Oper-

ator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely block up all cor ners with jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical component failures.

 Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

 Operate tractor PTO at the rpm speed stated in “Specifications” section.

Figure 11. Blocking Method

LUBRICATION INFORMATION

Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.

Figure 12 shows the lubrication points. The accompanying chart gives the frequ ency of lubr ic ation in operating hours, based on normal operating conditions.

Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication. So me refer ence num bers have mor e than one location; be sure you lubricate all locations.

BLOCKING METHOD

Do not work underneath mower unless it is properly attached to the tractor and blocked securely. When properly attached, the unit will be anchored to minimize front to rear movement.

Raise mower completely, set tractor brakes, turn engine off, remove key, block tractor wheels fron t and rear, and disconnect mower driveline from tractor.

The only approved b locking device for this mower is a jackstand with a loa d rating of 1000 pounds or mo re. One jackstand under each corner of the mower (four total) must be installed before working underneath.

When blocking, you must consider overall stability of the unit. Just blocking under the unit will not ensure your safety. The working surface must be level and solid to support the loaded weight of the jackstands. Test jack stands stabilit y before working und er any portion of the mower.

Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun. When a pplied accordin g to the lubricat ion chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient.

Use SAE 90W gear lube i n the gearb ox. Fill to pl ug on side of gearbox.

Check gearbox daily for evidence of leakage at both seals and the gasket between the housing and cover. If leakage is noted, repair imm ediately. There may be a small amount of lube em itted from the vent plug; thi s is not considered leakage.

Overfilling the ge arbox wi ll caus e the e xces s gear lube to blow out vent plug and ruin the belt.

Driveshaft Lubrication

Lubricate the driveshaft slip joint every 8 operating hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and driveshaft.

1. Lower mower to ground.

2. Apply grease at three locations shown in Figure 12.

3. Raise and lower mower severa l times to distribute

grease.

BELT SERVICE Belt Replacement

One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before ins talling a new belt, check the following:

1. Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear.

2. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness.

3. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.

If grooves require cle ani ng, moi ste n a clo th wi th a no nflammable, non-toxic deg reasing agent or commercial detergent and water.

Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use tools to pry belt into pulley groov e. Do not roll be lt over pulleys to install . This can cause hidden dam age and premature belt failure.

Belt Installation

1. Disconnect idler spring from deck lug I.

2. Slide belt under drive pu lley A and over idler arm.

Position belt around drive pulley A.

3. Loosen bolt holding belt guide G and swing it away from pulley B. Route belt aro und pulley B, idler C and pulley D as shown.

4. Make sure belt is on drive pulle y A, route around idler F, and connect idler spring to lug I on deck.

5. Grasp belt between spindle pulley E, spring loaded idler F and spindle pulley D. Pull spring loaded idler with belt to obtain enough belt length to route it over pulley E. Make su re sprin g-lo aded idl er pivo ts freely with belt installed.

IMPORTANT

■ Use care when installing or removing belt from

spring-loaded idler at step 5. Springs st ore energy when extended and, if released suddenly, can cause personal injury.

6. Adjust belt guide G to provide 1/16" to 1/8"

clearance from belt. Tighten bolt to 85 lbs-ft.

GEARBOX REPAIR

Read this entire section before starting any repair. Many steps are dependent on each other.

Repair to this gearbox is limi ted to replacing bearin gs, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts, and a housing is not cost e ffective. It is more economical to purchase a complete gearbox if repair to anything other than replacement of bearings, seals or gaskets is required.

Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it runs out the side level plug.

Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings. Leakage is a very serious problem and must be cor-

rected immediately. Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and side

to side or end play in gear shafts.

Seal Replacement

Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Perma-

tex

Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.

Leakage can occur at th e vert ical or horiz ontal gaskets and shaft seals.

Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.

Seal Installation

NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp-

erly installed seal will leak.

1. Clean area in housin g where seal outer diameter (OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex.

2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.

3. Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips.

4. Place seal squarely on hous ing, spring-loaded lip

toward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubing
